“When fighting zombies, the only comfort one can have--if, indeed, it can be called a "comfort"--is knowing where the zombies are. "They are over there, and we are over here. When they come at us, we're going to shoot them down. That's how it's going to work. They're just zombies, and they're way over there. No way are we going to f*** this up." But when zombies then unexpectedly pop up behind you--Bam!--the whole battle plan's not so cut and dried, is it, Mr. Tough Guy?” IfsWayWholeGuyFightingBehindsKnowingCuttingPlansComfortBattleToughPopsGoing To WorkZombieBehind YouTough Guy Author:Scott Kenemore
“The hardest thing is deciding what I should tell you and what not to. Well, anyway, I've got a while yet before you're old enough to understand the tapes. They're more for me at this point... to help get it all straight. Should I tell you about your father? That's a tough one. Will it change your decision to send him here... knowing? But if you don't send Kyle, you could never be. God, you can go crazy thinking about all this... I suppose I'll tell you... I owe him that. And maybe it'll be enough if you know that in the few hours we had together we loved a lifetime's worth.” IfsThinkingKnowsShouldWellsEnoughHelpingTogetherFatherHoursDecisionKnowingCrazyToughLifetimeHardestTapeShould IHardest Thing Author:Sarah Connor

“Growing up the way I did, it was tough being one of only a few black people in the town and in school. What my upbringing got me is never feeling completely safe emotionally.

It also suggests a willingness to listen to the soldiers' problems, to go to bat for them in a tough situation and it means knowing just how far they can go. It also means being willing to tell the boss when he is wrong.” MeanDoeProblemSituationKnowingWillingConceptsToughArmySoldierBossWillingnessNailsSteelBatsFiberUnafraidTough SituationsNcos Author:William A.
